4batz enters new territory today, as his debut project, aptly named u made me a st4r, is now in the hands of the world.

The 20-year-old artist from Dallas, Texas is undeniably a star, having already landed his first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit before even releasing a full-length project. With Friday's st4r, we can surely expect more chart success to come.

Featured on the 11-track tape is a remix of "act iii: on god?" featuring Ye, a well-documented Batzhead. It's a fitting pairing, as was the Drake-featuring revisit of "act ii: date @ 8" back in March. In fact, Drake's OVO label is distributing Batz's debut.

Ahead of the release, 4batz became the latest artist to be given the Apple Music Up Next treatment, complete with a short film that saw him giving fans a closer look at his origin story. Per Batz, experiencing multiple evictions as a child ultimately informed his later work, as did the music he heard from his mother and grandmother.

"Now, what I did was just mix what I naturally listened to from my grandma, from my momma, and grabbed that world into the world that I grew up looking at, which is where we at now, and that’s kinda how I went about things," Batz said. "That’s why I pulled both of those worlds together."
